+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-debug-generator</filename> is a generator
+ that reads the kernel command line and understands three
+ options:</para>
+
+ <para>If the <option>systemd.mask=</option> option is specified
+ and followed by a unit name, this unit is masked for the runtime,
+ similar to the effect of
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
+ <command>mask</command> command. This is useful to boot with
+ certain units removed from the initial boot transaction for
+ debugging system startup. May be specified more than once.</para>
+
+ <para>If the <option>systemd.wants=</option> option is specified
+ and followed by a unit name, a start job for this unit is added to
+ the initial transaction. This is useful to start one or more
+ additional units at boot. May be specified more than once.</para>
+
+ <para>If the <option>systemd.debug-shell</option> option is
+ specified, the debug shell service
+ <literal>debug-shell.service</literal> is pulled into the boot
+ transaction. It will spawn a debug shell on tty9 during early
+ system startup. Note that the shell may also be turned on
+ persistently by enabling it with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
+ <command>enable</command> command.</para>
+
